Hello everyone, my name is Siera Sweitzer, and I’m a DONA-certified birth doula located in Charleston, Illinois. My journey to becoming a birth doula began after my first birth—an unexpected emergency cesarean. When I became pregnant with my second baby, I knew I wanted to do everything I could to have a completely different experience. Through a lot of self-advocacy and by hiring an amazing birth doula, I achieved the birth I had worked so hard for. In that moment, I knew more women needed access to the resources and support of a birth doula to help them achieve the kind of birth they desire and what is best for them. Whether you plan to give birth in a hospital or at home, choose an epidural or an unmedicated birth, my role as your doula is to support you, ensure you’re informed, and help you make the best decisions for you and your baby. Being welcomed into your birth space is something I never take for granted, and I am honored every single time.
